/*
 * Management arrays for POSIX timers.	 Timers are kept in slab memory
 * Timer ids are allocated by an external routine that keeps track of the
 * id and the timer.  The external interface is:
 *
 * void *idr_find(struct idr *idp, int id);           to find timer_id <id>
 * int idr_get_new(struct idr *idp, void *ptr);       to get a new id and
 *                                                    related it to <ptr>
 * void idr_remove(struct idr *idp, int id);          to release <id>
 * void idr_init(struct idr *idp);                    to initialize <idp>
 *                                                    which we supply.
 * The idr_get_new *may* call slab for more memory so it must not be
 * called under a spin lock.  Likewise idr_remore may release memory
 * (but it may be ok to do this under a lock...).
 * idr_find is just a memory look up and is quite fast.  A -1 return
 * indicates that the requested id does not exist.
